THE ELECTION.
The Battle OF the Ballots Spirited
Contest. but Friendly one.
The Election Passes off Quietly and
Only a Moderate Vote is Polled
The Names OF the Winners.

Yesterday was rather a bad day
for an election, especially for the
ladies, as the wind was having a reg
ular. Kansas frolic. Still, quite a
number of the fair voters faced the
bowling wind to cast their first votes.
The total vote cast was about $50, of
which number, 1872 were ladies. As
the vote has not been officially COM
pared up to the hour of going to
press, we do not pretend to give our
readers an official statement. In
some instances, mistakes may be
made, but we think the figures, are
in the main, correct.
The following is the vote by wards
for Mayor:

The Democratic party of Kansas is
3o-day in better condition than ever
before. While soma of our Republi-
Gan friends would have us believe
Chat there is dissatisfaction with the Adj
hinistration; YET, the fact is, the peo-
pie are wonderfully we'll pleased and
the Democratic party of the state are
heartily in sympathy with the Presi-
dent and his policy. We have said
Chat we thought SOME of our federal
officers in this state little too mug
wumpish for practical purposes, but
@e do not charge this to the Admins
9ion. We believe that Cleveland is a
good democrat and when he appoints
an officer he expects that officer to
hold the same faith.
